The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

Exploring a surreal, haunted island with a B-movie flavor, plagued by long loading screens and technical jank.

What players say

Players split on this exploitation-style walking simulator. Some enjoy its B-movie charm, strange story, and multiple endings, while others find it buggy, poorly optimized, with long load times and overlapping audio. The developer is praised for being responsive to issues.
